    Not sure if this is the right place for this, but couldn't find anywhere else. Which brand of DVD burner is better HP or BenQ?

    Wrong forum,but I can help.I've got both the hp 460c lightscribe and 2 benq 1620s.

    No doubt the benq kicks hp's ass! It's all about the compatability.

    I got that hp 460c on my new pc last month. After 3 coasters on taiyo yuden and hitachi media in 4 days,I pulled that sucker out and put in my original benq 1620 with well over 1000+ burns. Both my benq's combined for only 1 burn coaster this year on 3 different pcs!

    Compatability:

    I booktype my plus format media to dvd-rom and those backup discs play everywhere from those benqs. Excellent compatability on stand alone players/pc drives/and ps2s.

    That hp had a harder time playing in certain stand alones but the main thing, I could not re-rip the few backups I did with it.I have no trouble re-ripping my benq backups-even on the fly.

    Benq 1620 at newegg.com for under $50 including fed ex.
    Benq 1625- Has the lightscribe
    Benq 1640 also has the lightscribe.
